Tony Finau

Tony Finau finished at 26 under, the lowest score in tournament history, on his way to earning back-to-back victories on the PGA Tour.

… I've just got to get hot with the putter and see if I can get up near contention the last three weeks and I should be in a good spot.” I've lost by one a couple times and lost by four, five a couple times. That was tough, just kind of lost my feel on the speed of my putts. Cantlay, 30, the defending FedExCup champion, was on the verge of pressuring the leaders during Saturday’s third round before he faltered at the finish, playing the final five holes at 1 over. “The margin of win is five at the end of 72 holes, but it didn't feel like that,” Finau said. The 31-year-old Canadian had his worst round of the week, shooting par 72 thanks to a balky putter. “But I'm proud of the way that I fought through adversity through my career and now I'm a back-to-back champion. “When I got to 14 tee, my goal was to birdie 14 and 17,” Finau said. “It was tough,” Pendrith admitted of playing in the final group. Pendrith then bogeyed the par-4 12th while Finau birdied, providing a two-shot swing and a four-shot cushion for Finau. It was his second straight victory after winning last week’s 3M Open near Minneapolis, and with one week left in the regular season, he’s moved up to seventh in the FedExCup standings with at least a chance at making a run for the season-ending championship and the $18 million top prize. “If I could do that, I knew I was going to win the golf tournament and I was able to do that.

Finau shot 5-under-par 67 to win the Rocket Mortgage Classic with a four-day total of 26-under 262, a tournament record, to finish five shots ahead of his ...

To be able to give back to my community and the state of Utah is very important to me. I'm looking forward to it, and hopefully we raise a lot of money for charity with it." Over the past nine days, he's doubled his victories on the PGA Tour — and with the playoffs around the corner, shows no sign in letting up. On the next hole, a 68-foot birdie putt skirted just off the lip of the hole and trickled eight feet past as the Utah native who splits time between Lehi and Arizona accepted his first bogey of the tournament. And he bounced back immediately from that rare square on his scorecard, dropping a 30 footer with perfect speed on the par-3 12th hole. A personal-best mark of his career was within grasp — to say nothing of the $1.512 million winner's purse.

Finau finished at 26 under to become the first back-to-back winner in the regular season since 2019.

Tony Finau continues to just go along his business as he sits at 24 under for the tournament after a birdie on the par-4 12th. With an eagle on the par-5 15th, Patrick Cantlay has ascended to the second spot on the leaderboard at 21 under. Good for his fourth victory of his career, the 32-year-old has changed the perception around his game. He will need to improve on and around the green as he ranked outside the top 50 in both short-game metrics and thus squandered a great ball-striking display. As it stands, Zalatoris is scheduled to play in the Wyndham Championship and perhaps a return to the state of North Carolina will push him into the winner's circle. T2. Cameron Young (-21): The likely PGA Tour Rookie of the Year found himself in a familiar position on Sunday. Trailing the two co-leaders by four strokes, Young was unable to match his final round from The Open and instead stalled for the majority of his round and ultimately signed for a 4-under 68. T20. Will Zalatoris (-13): Another week goes by in which Zalatoris goes without his first victory on the PGA Tour. After signing for rounds of 70-71 and making the cut on the number, the Wake Forest product found his game over the weekend and climbed his way inside the top 20 courtesy of rounds of 69-65. While he was unable to threaten to lead, he once again played himself onto the first page of the leaderboard as he has done with impressive regularity throughout his rookie season. He heads into the FedEx Cup Playoffs well positioned to defend his crown, but will need to recreate last year's postseason magic in order to capture the largest payday of the year at the Tour Championship. Grade: A- T2. Taylor Pendrith (-21): Unfortunately for the 31-year-old rookie, the nerves were present early and often on Sunday. Never looking comfortable in the final round, Pendrith turned in even par as he was unable to convert birdie opportunities on either of the par 5s. Still, his performance at the Rocket Mortgage Classic marked yet another close call as the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year now has 10 top-10 finishes – two of which were playoff losses – in only 16 starts. Winning last week's 3M Open in convincing fashion, the American was at it again at Detroit Golf Club as he signed for rounds of 64-66-65-67 en route to his fourth victory on the PGA Tour and his third in less than a year.

Next week marks the final PGA Tour event on the calendar before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin. Furthermore, Finau went 64 holes without making a bogey, the longest stretch in his career. But he immediately recovered when he made a 30-foot putt for birdie on the par 4 12th, the hardest hole on the golf course.

If you continue to work hard, at some point I think you can go on some nice stretches and I think that’s what I’m seeing this week and last week.” “I think that’s a big reason I’ve been hitting so many greens,” he said of his driving prowess. He had just one career top-10 finish entering the week, but made 25 birdies in his first 54 holes to share the lead going into Sunday. Playing in the final group alongside Finau for the second day in a row, Pendrith’s inexperience showed as he carded an even-par 72 but still notched his best career finish. This is the type of success that has been expected of Finau for some time. Finau made birdies at the two par 5s on the front nine to grab the lead. Finau, 32, became the first player to win consecutive tournaments since Patrick Cantlay did so a year ago at the BMW Championship and Tour Championship. It was Cantlay who produced the biggest threat to spoil Finau hoisting another trophy.

Although the driver has 9 degrees of loft, it is set in manner where the actual loft is just 7 degrees. “I think that’s a big reason I’ve been hitting so many greens,” Finau said after the third round.

Troy Denton and I spent a lot of time working on the driver after The Open Championship. I really didn't particularly drive it well in Scotland. It was nice to see everything click today." "I just didn't get much out of the rounds the first couple days," he explained. You can put yourself in a position to win a golf tournament and to do that two weeks in a row is really nice." "This was a golf course that didn't look very good to me the first time I played it, which is in 2020.

When all the pieces of his game are aligned, he’s not that far off from the names lining the top of the world rankings. Finau played in Detroit during the reworked schedule of the pandemic summer in 2020 and finished T53 after making the cut on the number. Now, a little less than a year later, in a span of two weeks, Finau has doubled his career win total from two to four. The dry spell ended last year when Finau fought off Cameron Smith and nine inches of rain from Hurricane Henri to win the 2022 Northern Trust in a playoff. That this win came at Detroit Golf Club is a fitting tribute to that work. Last week, he rolled to a three-shot win at the 3M Open, posting rounds of 67, 68, 65 and 67.
